Receipt template: what to put on a receipt
Use this layout as a template for any receipt. It works for a shop, a service, a freelancer or an online seller.
The template
- Top: business name, logo, address, phone or email
- Receipt number and date
- Customer name
- Items: description, quantity, price, line total
- Total amount and currency
- Payment method: cash, bank transfer, card or mobile money
- Notes: deposit, balance due, return policy
A checklist before you send it
- Is the receipt number new and in sequence?
- Does the date match the day you were paid?
- Does the total equal the sum of the lines?
- Does it say how the customer paid?
- Could you find this receipt again in a year?
Skip the template and start from your phone
A paper or spreadsheet template means retyping your details every time, and keeping your own numbering straight. AWA Receipt does that part for you, and adds your logo, so you only enter the sale.
Questions
Does every receipt need a logo?
No, but one makes the receipt look credible and is easy to add once and reuse.
Should receipts be numbered?
Yes. A unique, sequential number makes each receipt easy to find and shows nothing is missing.
